Dubai’s Business Bay is a dynamic urban hub that embodies the city’s forward-thinking vision and entrepreneurial spirit. Known as a leading financial district, it offers leisure, dining, and cultural opportunities as well. These are some key attractions in the area and nearby you should not miss.
Dive into the enchanting underwater realm of the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, at the nearby Dubai Mall. This extraordinary aquatic display provides a one-of-a-kind, immersive experience for visitors. Be sure to explore the 48-metre tunnel, one that you can walk through, which offers an up-close view of fascinating creatures like giant spider crabs, piranhas, and sharks as you journey through the heart of the tank. Of course, to really get your adrenaline pumping, you can always go diving with sharks here too!
The Green Planet is an incredible indoor zoo doubling as a theme park which recreates the ambience of a sprawling rainforest and houses over 3,000 species of animals and plants. In this vibrant green haven, visitors can encounter a variety of creatures, including snakes, monkeys, parrots, sloths, squirrels and more, up close. Although you may not think of Dubai as a place to go animal watching, one can't deny the spectacle available to them at this site which is a great place to visit with the entire family.
Are you a fan of the silver screen? This next place is one where film enthusiasts can enjoy their favourite movies - Roxy Cinemas, featuring three seating options. This variety ensures a luxurious experience at a cinema for every budget, all within a modern and stylish theatre setting. It's a great place to unwind and watch a movie in between or after your many adventures.
Built by the same minds responsible for the fountain at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, the attraction is featured right outside the Dubai Mall and draws a fair amount of spectators. It’s renowned for its music-organized light shows, and choreographed water effects - an immaculate reflection of its sister construction in the US. It's yet another impressive creation that reflects Dubai's lofty position in the modern world of innovation, while also balancing a style and class unique to the city.
Spend an enchanting evening at the Dubai Opera, where world-class performances meet stunning architectural design. This remarkable blend creates an atmosphere that is almost ethereal, ideal for creating memories of a lifetime with the one you love. If you happen to be staying at hotel apartments in Business Bay including those at properties like DAMAC Maison Aykon City, ensure you visit this attraction and if possible, take in a performance here which will be an unforgettable moment of your trip.
For a truly exceptional experience, consider renting a private yacht for a serene journey along the Dubai Canal or an excursion into the scenic Arabian Gulf. Onboard, savour a tailored romantic dinner while soaking in the stunning cityscape, creating an unforgettable and intimate evening that fits right into the end of any itinerary. It's a great opportunity to gain a fresh perspective of Business Bay and this amazing city as well.
